This paper presents reports a design and development of an interactive map using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). In this paper we used this map to simulate traffic congestion at the tourist attraction spot of Kuching Waterfront, Sarawak. We argue that with our map application, the tourists are able to plan their way by finding and selecting the shortest path along the intended route.
This paper presents reports a design and development of the interactive map using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) that can be used to find the shortest path. Using our interactive map, the user will be able to set the route or path to the desired location. If that path is congested, the map will find the second shortest path to the user. In the usability study, we have tested the map with the mean...
This paper presents the hardware architecture of a new optical switching device named Protection Switching Device (PSD) for providing protection and restoration against fiber failures/faults in the distribution region of passive optical network (PON). The developed PSD prototypes are employed at the customer end, just before the optical network units (ONUs) to ensure the data flow continuously due...
In this paper, we propose a new method of route planning for multiple robots in an unknown space with randomly placed obstacles. First, we use the basic principles of multi agent systems and particle swarm optimization algorithm. At the core, we implement our proposed method of circularly drifting the robot around the corners of the obstacle at a desired angle which gives us the freedom in designing...
This paper is the continuation of previous work on the Systemic Water Analysis. It reflects a more complete version of the discussion on the Processes within the Systemic Water Analysis with more elaborated explanations on some of the ambiguous parts of the procedure.
This paper describes the development of a mid-line detection system on curve road as guidance for drivers to stay center in road-lane they are currently on using simulation model. The system will identify the curve road and detecting the tangent for each segmented curve. The purpose of detecting the tangent is to find a point that is normal to tangent of the curve. Then, using pixel distance calculation,...
In this paper we have identified some critical implementation factors of an ERP project implementation in universities. Taking into consideration that for industry implementations there are already many performed studies we started by considering university implementations as a particular case for the industry ones. The purpose of our research is to make a list of the main success factors in implementing...
Botnet is one of the most recent tools used in cyber-crime including distributed denial of service attacks, phishing, spamming, and spying on remote computers. These days, governments, business, and individuals are facing catastrophic damages caused by hackers using malicious botnets. It is a major challenge for cyber-security research community to combat the emerging threat of botnets. Current network...
This paper presents a heart sound transcription technique to provide semi-structured musical data. The heart beat samples were captured using stethoscope and recorded in pulse-code modulation (PCM) method into several differing audio file formats. Pitch tracking algorithm were utilized for the heartbeat transcription into MIDI generation. We propose the use of several sound processing techniques to...
Researchers have been searching for alternatives in teaching programming subjects. A reason to this is due to the fact that the compulsory subject in the field of Information Technology has been a challenge and they are tough subjects to learn. On top of that, lacking the understanding in concepts has reduced undergraduates' interests to pursue further exploration and self-experimentation. In this...
The paper describes a location-aware travel guide prototype that was implemented into a Nokia Symbian Series 60 phone with Location API (JSR-179) support. It contains relevant travelling information that could assist users while they are travelling or when they arrive at a particular destination. The objectives of the study were to discover user preferences towards fisheye and list style menus in...
In this paper, the effect of external optical feedback (EOF) on the turn-on time delay (ton) of uncooled semiconductor laser diode (SLD) is investigated theoretically. The effects temperature of operation (T) and EOF on ton are calculated according to their effect on threshold carrier density (Nth). The temperature dependence (TD) of Nth is calculated according to the TD of laser cavity parameters...
